feb947453a [PowerPC] fix a bug in redundant compare elimination
This patch fixes a bug in the redundant compare elimination reported in https://reviews.llvm.org/rL320786 and re-enables the optimization.

The redundant compare elimination assumes that we can replace signed comparison with unsigned comparison for the equality check. But due to the difference in the sign extension behavior we cannot change the opcode if the comparison is against an immediate and the most significant bit of the immediate is one.

20e1861f08 Disabling r312514 as it causes miscompiles that show up on bootstrap
The compare elimination peephole introduced in https://reviews.llvm.org/rL312514
causes a miscompile in AMDGPUInstrInfo.cpp which in turn causes some AMDGPU
test case failures in stage2 bootstrap testing. This miscompile didn't cause any
test case failures until https://reviews.llvm.org/rL320614, so it appeared as if
that patch caused these failures.
Disabling this transformation for now to bring the build bots back to green and
the author of the patch will investigate the miscompile.

84b05de9b1 [PowerPC] eliminate partially redundant compare instruction
This is a follow-on of D37211.
D37211 eliminates a compare instruction if two conditional branches can be made based on the one compare instruction, e.g.
if (a == 0) { ... }
else if (a < 0) { ... }

This patch extends this optimization to support partially redundant cases, which often happen in while loops.
For example, one compare instruction is moved from the loop body into the preheader by this optimization in the following example.
do {
  if (a == 0) dummy1();
  a = func(a);
} while (a > 0);

7166ffbe09 [PowerPC] eliminate redundant compare instruction
If multiple conditional branches are executed based on the same comparison, we can execute multiple conditional branches based on the result of one comparison on PPC. For example,

if (a == 0) { ... }
else if (a < 0) { ... }

can be executed by one compare and two conditional branches instead of two pairs of a compare and a conditional branch.

This patch identifies a code sequence of the two pairs of a compare and a conditional branch and merge the compares if possible.
To maximize the opportunity, we do canonicalization of code sequence before merging compares.
For the above example, the input for this pass looks like:

cmplwi r3, 0
beq    0, .LBB0_3
cmpwi  r3, -1
bgt    0, .LBB0_4

So, before merging two compares, we canonicalize it as

cmpwi  r3, 0       ; cmplwi and cmpwi yield same result for beq
beq    0, .LBB0_3
cmpwi  r3, 0       ; greather than -1 means greater or equal to 0
bge    0, .LBB0_4

The generated code should be

cmpwi  r3, 0
beq    0, .LBB0_3
bge    0, .LBB0_4
